Attractions in the village include the Liberation Monument, the Catholic St Eligius Church and the sculpture “Jong schaap en de verwondering...”.

Culture and local history in Lewedorp

The Liberation Monument in Lewedorp is a stone cross approximately three metres high on a roughly shaped concrete plinth. A round metal commemorative plaque is part of its design and complements the shape of the cross. It commemorates the Canadian and Scottish soldiers who liberated the village on 30 October 1944. The historical occasion connects the visible monument with a specific date in the village’s history.

The Catholic St Eligius Church is a basilica-style church. It was built from 1928 to 1930 with a roof turret and portal. The sculpture “Jong schaap en de verwondering...” provides a different accent. The work was created by Wies de Bles in 2006 and is located on Lewedijk/Postweg in Lewedorp. The construction period of the church and the year in which the sculpture was created fall in different periods.
